Title: Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Atlas: Kodiak, maps and geographic information systems data (NODC Accession 0026418)
Abstract: This data set comprises the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps for the shoreline of Kodiak Island and Shelikof Strait, Alaska. ESI data characterize estuarine environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats; sensitive biological resources; and human-use resources

The ESI data were collected, mapped, and digitized to provide environmental data for oil spill planning and response. The Clean Water Act with amendments by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires response plans for immediate and effective protection of sensitive resources.

The intertidal habitats of Shelikof Strait were originally mapped during overflights and ground surveys conducted in 1983. The biological and human-use resources data were compiled by regional biologists in 1996 and 1997. The dates for these data vary and are documented within the metadata included in the data set.

Data are presented as GIS and associated files with included MOSS and .pdf files for non-GIS users. Extensive documentation is included.
